I am reluctant to even post this but ... I went out on Watts bar at 2pm this afternoon in that `12 - 15 mph wind. Started fishing windy point near Thief Neck with a SB and on my second cast lost a nice fish. I thought I was on to something ... wind, point, chop on water. Not to be, I fished that point about half hour and moved to another point near a pocket where I have caught fish but not a bump. During this time, about 21/2 hrs into the afternoon, I had thrown cranks, SB, tx rig worm, jig 'n plastic and even tried a c-rig to no avail. At about 6pm on my last cast with a small crankbait on a laydown, I picked up my last fish, less than a lb lm bank-runner. What a frustrating fishing day but still nice to be on the water. It must have been that front which moved thru last night, huh?
 
Yeah....it was the front! I can't say too much, you have outfished me that last time...er...last two times, but I don't think that big channel cat counted on a crankbait! So far I have only caught decent fish on a XPS brown splatter back, watermelon (re/ruby colored) and green pumpkin seed shaky heads and red or blue CR crawfish....Furgeson branch (main channel point), Shields Bar and the south part of the island on the east side across from Shields bar
